Pathway analysis of pH in whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei concrete pond intensifies in Banyuwangi East Java

Abstract

The study aims to understand the pH analysis path model in white shrimp-intensive ponds. The method used is the ex-post-facto analytical analysis by observing changes in the pH of pond water and other water quality parameter factors that affect it—shrimp farming method under the intensively patterned BAPC. The measured water parameters were pH, temperature, salinity, transparency, TOM, carbonate, bicarbonate, and total alkalinity. The collected research data were analyzed by regression and correlation to create a path analysis model for pH. The results showed that changes in the pH of pond water are influenced directly and indirectly by salinity, TOM, and total alkalinity. The most significant direct influence comes from the total alkalinity and the smallest of TOM.
